I really like that Streetflow App for the (jailbroken) iPhone
Ive mentioned my disappointment with the iPhone on my other blog several times, but I do own one, and paid a good deal of cash for it…uuuhh not really, got it for free. A few weeks ago, I decided to Jailbreak it using WinPWN and started playing around with some of the third party apps that are available. Still didn’t find anything too interesting…until today.
It was about lunch time and I decided to go out to get something to eat. Wasn’t sure what I wanted so I remembered a little iPhone app that I downloaded called Streetflow. Streetflow is really a cool little app. I loaded it up and it used the iPhone’s fake built in gps to find out my location then it list all the restaurants that are near me.
Even though Ive been living in this area all of my adult life and was familiar with most places, I did find a restaurant that I had never been too. It also had reviews from other restaurant goers about that restaurant. Yes you can also submit your review of places that you visit to help others that may be in your area looking for somewhere to eat.
Once you find a place to eat, you can click on that place and it will give you more information about that place, including a phone number and street address (all these pics were taken later not the same places I went to earlier)
After getting something to eat, I decided to look at other places that are in my area. I found a place listed that recently closed, that did have a good review so I quickly decided to add a review to let others know that the place has closed.
All in all, this is the first app I found that I would say is clearly worth jailbreaking the iPhone. Maybe this will get added to iTunes when third party app support is finally added. If you have jailbroke your iphone and want more info, you probably already know where to get it. (through the installer). For more information about using Winpwn, you can check out this website.
